Do you get the play on words?
If you are of German descent you may get the joke that this sign represents. It's another piece of carving from my brother August.

The Old Home Town Where I Grew Up
My 65 Chevy parked in front of my childhood home. Notice the dirt road.
We had running water by this time and we had power as well even natural gas. No telephone however. This all happened after the kids grew up and left for the wide wide world to seek their fortunes.
My Mother and Father. Dad was a Jack of all Trades and a Master of all. Trained in Germany. My Mother of course had her hands full with taking care of and feeding 9 kids. I have no idea how they managed through the Dirty Thirties but they did.
And here I am today, no worse for ware a successful artist, graphic designer, sign painter and competitive archer. Now as you know, I spend a lot of time feeding and watching my birds, rabbits and pussy cats!
My first bow. I managed to shoot a rattle snake on this day. The only other animal I shot was a rabbit and that cured me of ever shooting a living thing again. It was targets only forever more and I have the trophies to prove it.

More from brother August
The shop that my brother August works in is absolutely filled with shelves holding his past work. I keep telling him to create a blog or put his work on E bay because it would be an excellent way for him to earn extra income.
He seems to be too busy carving to get around to selling anything!!!

Another Brothers Work
I have 7 brothers and 1 sister. Almost all of us are artist's in one way or another. We used to say we had a baseball team just among ourselves.
Enough trivia, the pictures you see here are just some of my brother August's carvings. He has done a lot more believe me.
These are just a sample, a toilet paper holder and two urns for ashes of the deceased. All of his work is for sale and you will find more pieces later on.

Northern Flicker came visiting today. the first day we've had sunshine in over 2 weeks. I don't know who is happier about the sun's return, me or my feathered friend.
